A curation by Michela Cartot, Marketing & Communications Manager | Curator at - A timeless symbol across cultures, the egg embodies life, creation, and renewal. From ancient Egypt’s cosmic egg to Christian iconography of resurrection, it has long represented beginnings and rebirth. During the Renaissance, artists such as Piero della Francesca elevated it to a sign of divine perfection, while modern and contemporary artists — from Dalí to Sarah Lucas — reimagined it as a metaphor for identity, vulnerability, and potential. The egg remains a universal emblem of the mystery of existence — here explored through both its emblematic gravity and its playful, comic side.
